Tom Waits sees Jack White's San Francisco show, 'steals his watch'

A Tom Waits cameo wouldn't be the oddest sight at a concert in San Francisco. The music icon, who in the past has been known to catch a show at Bottom of the Hill or to share the stage with Mavis Staples in Petaluma, visited the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium Thursday night to see another act: rocker Jack White.

White was in the Bay Area for the western leg of his 2018 tour (wherein he played two shows: one for the public in San Francisco, and another for Tesla employees in Fremont).

Live shows are beginning to take steps to keep you from recording the show. Buzz60's Tony Spitz has the details.

And while White was at the Bill Graham, Waits dropped by to visit, snap a pic with, and apparently rob his fellow rocker backstage.

"Tom Waits came to Jack White's performance in San Francisco and made all the musicians in the band confirm and pay testament to their love of the religion of music," read a caption for a photo posted to White's official Instagram. "He also stole Jack's watch."
